Thanx for your quick response KC911.
I don't know the IP address of MSR; however when I just did a Google search on "what is the IP address of motorsportreg.com" I got a list of results, the first of which was a notice from MSR, dated October 1, 2019, addressing an issue "DNS Server Issues" which as it first paragraph was "Beginning yesterday at 3:00pm Pacific time we began receiving reports of intermittent access problems with MotorsportReg.com. Initially it appeared to be a routing issue but as we worked with our vendors to peel back the layers of the onion we found it was a problem with a DNS server. For a small percentage of our users this made the site unavailable and we are very sorry for the interruption."
So clearly there have been some problems with reaching MSR and the MSR rep I spoke with yesterday was either unaware of this problem from just a couple of months ago or was disingenuous in her answer.
